Yan Luoxi knew that acting like a delicate maiden wasn't good; she should be strong and live independently. But she was no Wonder Woman, and after her mind and body were severely traumatized, taking care of a child too, she truly didn't know how to find the right path in life.

Yan Luoxi, you are really useless.

She pursed her lips and swallowed back the bitter tears.

Women become especially sensitive and afraid of loneliness after pregnancy. Yan Luoxi was even more so because she had just recovered from depression. She started to hesitate in every decision and worry excessively about everything.

The heavens seemed to have sensed Yan Luoxi's sorrow and the skies darkened, starting to rain.

Sitting by the bed with a heavy heart, looking out at the increasingly intense rain, she suddenly wondered where Shao Junhe was. Why hadn't he come back for so long These days, he had been watching her like a prisoner; he had never gone away for this long before.

Just as she was thinking about him, the nurse who was responsible for her ward pushed open the door and came in with the prenatal vitamins Yan Luoxi needed to take every day and a thermometer. She took her temperature for her.

Yan Luoxi smiled amiably at the nurse.

The nurse looked around but didn't see Shao Junhe, and couldn't help asking, "Where's your handsome friend Why isn't he here" Before, Yan Luoxi had repeatedly emphasized to them that Shao Junhe was not her boyfriend. This news made the nurses very excited.

This little nurse had witnessed Yan Luoxi throwing a tantrum. Having worked in the hospital for so long, she had seen all sorts of uncooperative patients, but none had been as extreme as how Yan Luoxi threw things and cursed uncontrollably.

What surprised her was that someone as handsome and wealthy as Shao Junhe would pamper and dote on a frail woman with such a nasty temper. Whenever Yan Luoxi fell asleep, this young and dignified man would sit by the bedside staring at Yan Luoxi's face as if he could never look enough.

Although she heard from Yan Luoxi that Shao Junhe wasn't her boyfriend, it was clear that he must deeply love her.

The ward where Yan Luoxi stayed was the best in the entire hospital. The cost was four times more than a regular room. Even the hospital gown she wore was brand new.

This little nurse had seen Yan Luoxi's luggage and clothes inside it. They were all Louis Vuitton trunks, with dresses and even pajamas being international big brands. Anything plucked out of there would cost her half a year’s salary to purchase.

As a woman herself, she couldn’t understand how Yan Luoxi could be so lucky as to meet such an amazing man.

"He went out," Yan Luoxi replied indifferently.

"Oh," the little nurse nodded thoughtfully.

Over these two days, Yan Luoxi noticed that these nurses seemed particularly fond of talking with Shao Junhe. Whenever they talked about him to her, their eyes would reveal a look of envy and affection, just like how the receptionist at the hotel used to act when she was there.

Shao Junhe and Li An were actually similar in that they both used their charm to entice women’s hearts. Back then, the order for her to leave probably came from the receptionist informing Shao Junhe about it.

The door opened, and with a cold breeze came Shao Junhe, drenched from head to toe, carrying two bags of fruit.

"Oh, Mr. Shao, you got caught in the rain," said the little nurse, dropping what she was doing for Yan Luoxi and rushing over to fetch a dry towel for Shao Junhe.

“Thanks.” Shao Junhe accepted the towel and wiped his face before turning to look at Yan Luoxi with a bright smile. "Luoxi, how are you feeling Are you uncomfortable"

Yan Luoxi glanced at Shao Junhe's wet, handsome face, then lowered her eyelids as if absentmindedly replying, “I don’t feel anything special. Am I that delicate to be constantly uncomfortable”

The little nurse, seeing how indifferent Yan Luoxi was toward Shao Junhe’s kindness, couldn’t bear it and urged him, "Mr. Shao, your clothes are soaked; you should change them quickly before catching a cold."

“It's fine. My physical condition is good enough that I rarely catch a cold,” Shao Junhe politely declined the little nurse’s suggestion.

The past few years, living with Li An and indulging in a life of luxury among women every day, Shao Junhe was well aware of the little nurse's feelings. He didn’t want to add any more obstacles between himself and Yan Luoxi. Politely handing over a bag of fruit to the nurse, he said, "Since you’re here, take these fruits back for everyone at the nursing station; otherwise, I would have delivered them there myself."

The little nurse looked inside the bag where she found fresh red apples and was surprised as she looked up at Shao Junhe. “Mr. Shao, did you go to a nearby orchard”

“Yes, Luoxi mentioned yesterday that your apples here are delicious, so I went to pick some fresh ones this morning,” replied Shao Junhe, glancing at Yan Luoxi with tender eyes.

The little nurse’s expression darkened upon hearing this. "Mr. Shao, you got caught in the rain for these fruits for Miss Yan; how can we feel good about eating them Why don’t you and Luoxi keep them"

"Hehe, when I picked them, I got extra ones for you guys. These days, Qian LuoXi and I have relied a lot on your care. You’re all beautiful young ladies; eating more fruit will make you even prettier."

Shao Junhe’s few words made the little nurse beam with happiness as she left, carrying a bag of fruit.

Lying in bed, Qian LuoXi gave a cold snort. These idle rich kids were all the same; they could charm young girls with ease.

Shao Junhe heard Qian LuoXi’s reaction and seemed quite disdainful. He knew she was upset again.

A little lost, he brought the fruit bag to Qian LuoXi as if presenting a treasure, "These apples are all freshly picked by me from the tree; they’re sweet and crisp, and I guarantee there’s no pesticide on them. It would be good for you in your current condition."

Qian LuoXi became even more unhappy when Shao Junhe mentioned her current physical state, furrowing her brows slightly, "I haven’t had much of an appetite recently; I don’t like apples. If you want to keep them, do so; if not, throw them away."

"Doctor LuoXi, you should eat more fruit… it’s good for the baby," Shao Junhe still wore his wet clothes beside Qian LuoXi's bed, staring straight at her with eyes full of tender warmth like spring water.

“I’ve already said I don’t want to eat,” Upon hearing the word ‘baby’, Qian LuoXi felt annoyed and turned her head away from Shao Junhe’s innocent yet pitiful expression.

"Ah," Shao Junhe softly replied, placing the apples aside with a crestfallen look as he rummaged for clean clothes to change into.

Qian LuoXi watched him leave, leaving water and mud marks on the floor, her eyes slightly moistening. finally came to her senses and answered in astonishment: "Sis, I'm eight years old this year."Liu Haonan, upon hearing the words of the Yan family girl, barely frowned beside her. Even after a decade...
